I can't say that I've heard Bernie's views on the break-up of the "too big to fail" banks, but ever since the bail-outs I've thought that was a reasonable way to go. It's rare that I don't agree with Senator Sanders. He's one of the few senators who I genuinely believe is working for the people and not for his own personal gain. Coincidentally, he represents GM's state of Vermont. I'm curious how GM feels about the senator. He's been a fixture on the Green Mountain state's political scene ever since he was the mayor of Burlington (and he governed as a proud socialist).

I have no use for ideologues who refuse to deviate from the pure free-market economic view. And I'm not implying that GM falls into that category. We're a mixed-economy for a variety of compelling reasons (to protect those on the lower rung of the economic ladder, to regulate corporations from harming individuals and society in general, to name but a few). The regulated free-market has allowed for unparalleled job creation and prosperity. The anti-capitalist, command economy types are just as nutty as the pure free-market proponents.
